Because now he is going to have a quarter panel full of filler, worry that the paint will fade correctly without painting the whole car, and hope the rear alignment will be back to normal.

 

our rear suspension is the easiest to repair.

The entire cross member hangs on 4 bolts. Even if it was (cross member) damaged during the accident I bet you 100% that those 4 bolts did not move an inch. Cross member is aluminum so it always goes first and it's easy to replace to get your car back to correct specs.
Body panel would probably need to be cut off and new one welded in place.

 

Damn, hopefully they had insurance!

 

Damn, hope everyone was okay!
Was yours an x?
Just curious to see if you felt the awd kick in to help at all.

 

That sucks! Glad your ok and not seriously hurt. How soon can you get that fix?

 

YEP! My thoughts exactly

 

That might be a total. Or very, very close to it.

 

Nope not an X just a RWD Nismo

They ordered the parts yesterday... takes few days for that, so I'm thinking in 1.5-2 weeks from now.

 

Have had the car back since end of March. Here is what the side looks like now.

 

Looks real nice .. Like the wheels

 

glad no one got hurt, and the car looks great..

 

The stock jack is awesome! It's small, light, and faster than almost any other jack out there. You just have to learn how to use it.


Since his insurance is taking care of it, it's going to be a cut and weld job. Where would the filler come in here?

 

Panel was cut out and completely replaced. Peeled back rear door trim and could see the new spot welds. Same goes for inside trunk lip/edge. They did a great job.

 

Nice to see her back on the road.

 

Wow looks like they did a great job. Looks brand new!
